Math Workshop for Parents/Guardians

“Strategies Behind the Mathematics... How to Help Kids with Homework”

On Monday, February 1, we will be sponsoring an informational session:  Strategies Behind the Mathematics for PARENTS of students in grades 1-5 from the Luce, JFK, and Hansen. This will take place from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Hansen Elementary School.

·       Grade 1 and 2 parents are invited from 6:00-7:00 pm

·       Grades 3, 4, and 5 parents are invited from 7:00-8:00 pm

The focus of this workshop, offered by Susan Brass, Kerri Falzone, and Maryanna Biedermann, our math specialists, will continue discussions on how to best help children with their understandings, as well as homework, as they move through the next topics in math. At this workshop we will work to build understanding around the common language and strategies involved in more complex addition and subtraction concepts for grades 1 and 2, and around the common language and strategies involved in exploring fractions and geometry for grades 3-5. Childcare will be provided from 5:45 to 8:15 pm.    

We hope to see many of you on Monday, February 1st at the Hansen!

Mark these dates on your calendars!

Mark these dates on your calendars!

There are two VERY IMPORTANT events coming up in the not too distant future, and I wanted you to make note on your calendars.

On Friday, March 11th, the CAPE SPELLING BEE will begin at 6:00 p.m.in the Canton High School Auditorium.  If you have never attended the Spelling Bee, it is an incredibly fun event for families.  I will continue to remind you of this date as it comes nearer.

The second date to put on your calendars is Wednesday, March 16th, from 4- 8:00 p.m. for our 2016 STEAM Expo.  When we last ran this EXPO, we had more than 1200 people attend.  This year, so that you can stay as long as you'd like, we will also have dinner available in the CHS cafeteria.  Come and visit all the booths and experience the activities planned around our theme SUSTAINABILITY!

We hope to see you at both events!
